Natural History in Barnsley
Whitwell Moor above Stocksbridge was the place for our field visit on Saturday morning, 12th April. We were looking for the wildlife on this former grouse moor and saw breeding lapwings, curlews, stonechats, and lots of others.
With the end of management of this site, it’s becoming better for wildlife. The views are fantastic too! Thanks Chris for taking us again to this fantastic place and pointing out the highlights!
Great to see so many this last Saturday morning at RSPB Adwick Washlands; a good birding session with splendid weather! Thanks to Lesley for leading the field visit and for producing the bird species list. As usual, great for a variety of wintering birds; a highlight was the five or six Tree Sparrows in the hedges at the Bolton-upon-Dearne end of the reserve. And of course we examined the lichens as well!
